Severe rain in Venezuela has caused rivers to overflow and triggered landslides, sweeping away homes and collapsing a highway bridge, with five states affected and no casualties reported so far.
In the town of Apartaderos in Mérida state, intense rainfall led to a river overflowing its banks, destroying homes and affecting more than 270 families, according to local authorities. Many residents lost all their belongings. One of those affected, said, “It washed away my whole house. I couldn’t recover anything.”
The Venezuelan government responded with emergency assistance, providing medical care, food, and other essential supplies. Nearby Andean states including Táchira, Barinas, and Trujillo were also impacted by the same tropical-wave-driven rainfall.
Also, elsewhere in the country, the same heavy rains triggered widespread flooding and landslides, causing a bridge on a major highway to collapse and seriously affecting five states.
Authorities stated that more than 640 families have received aid, and engineers are working to repair the damaged infrastructure.
Despite the destruction and road closures, officials say the situation is under control, and no fatalities have been reported.
